I'm back at the docs tomorrow for my second injection, but i'm not sure if i want it!!! I have bled continuously since the 1st injection!!!
I don't know what to do, the best options for me were depo and the marina coil because of my history of endemetrosis!! I had the Marina coil fitted years ago, when i 1st met Ju, but it slipped out of place!!!

the first depo i had i bled constantly, i spoke to her about it and she said that after the second or third it should stop...

Had the second and guess what?? It stopped!

Did your periods stop completely? That's why they wanted to give me one of these two forms of contraception, they want me to stop having periods!!! As every period gets worse than the previous one and I'm in severe agony and the bleeding as like a waterfall!!!
Before i got pregnant with Korbyn, i had injections for 6 months, to stop me bleeding, it wasn't a contraceptive they put me through a phantom menopause and i had to take hormone tablets as well!!!!
If i was certain our family was complete i would go private and get a hysterectomy!!!

Yup! Its just a side effect from the first one, speak to your dr about it but mine stopped after the second. i did bleed for a few days coz it takes that long to get into your system properly but after i've been fine and no period!!!!

I had the implant for just short of 2 years. If it dosen't agree with you then you can get it taken out - it obviously means getting a local anesthetic (sp) and a small incision.

I didn't find getting the implant put in/taken out sore, its just that you have to keep the dressing dry for at least 24 hours and my arm (it goes in the upper inside arm) was bruised and sore for about a week.

I have heard lots of different things from friends. My bleeds were very regular however heavier and lasting for 2 weeks where as friends were not regular and would bleed for a couple of days then off for 2 weeks then back on again.

I think it would be an idea to get it in and see how you feel with it. The bonus is that it does last for 3 years. You may have to check with your GP becuase not everyone is trained to put it in. I had to go to the local family planning clinic as no Dr's at my surgery were trained.

Hope this helps.

I used to get the Depo mainly cos i was useless st remembering to take my pill I stopped bleeding straight away and didn;t have another period till i stopped the Depo and it wore off. I also put on weight with it.

I put 2 stone on while I was on the Depo injection, I have a coil now and haven't had a problem. Everyone's different hun, talk to your GP and they should be able to advise you on the best options and also the side effects x
